m
Deselect the Auto checkbox for the parameter in the Effect Parameters area of the
Effects window.

for the parameter in the Effects tab.

Recording Automation Data
In addition to working with envelopes, you can record automation data in Soundtrack.
You can record movements you make to faders, sliders, and other onscreen controls
using the pointer. When you record movements to onscreen controls, the
corresponding envelope in the Timeline changes to display the recorded automation
data. You can edit the envelope to fine-tune the automation data after recording.
